Hi All,
Our SCM team would like to know if there is a way to bill down a special item type by amount on a PO line similar to a service without closing the line on the first invoice. Example, PO line is a special with a quantity of 1 and unit cost of $10K. The item is received and an invoice for 80% of the cost comes in. We want to pay the invoice, but leave the PO line open for the remaining 20% which will come later. In current state, a buyer message is created on the first invoice and the line is closed when the invoice is paid.
Reasoning: SCM doesn't always know in advance that the billing will be broken up otherwise they would create separate PO lines. The items are not always services and actually need to be received, so they go down as specials.
Any ideas on improving this process or how you handle these situations is appreciated. Thank you!
